Barre3 + 4 Day Cleanse

Happy Monday y'all!! Although I don't feel great this morning (sore throat... ughhh), I am looking forward to a really great week (a big camping trip is the prize at the end). How about you?

Yesterday I did some serious Sunday cleaning in my house. I also squeezed in some time for an hour long pilates video. My body responds quite well to a power pilates or yoga video, I must say. I've noticed that I feel a whole lot better after that than I do an intense circuit routine. Interesting, huh? Well, after doing some major budgeting, and reassessing, I have actually decided to cancel my gym membership. Sigh...

I enjoy doing so many active things outdoors here in Portland, it just kind of seems like a waste. Plus- I want to give regular barre3 a try instead of the workouts I was doing before. I've decided to do the monthly subscription to barre3 online and I am THRILLED about it. I will post some before and after photos up here soon to see if in "28 days" I can see a difference.

I'm also jumping into a mild 4 day cleanse. I'll be incorporating my favorite juices from Portland Juice Press and will be barre3'n it up for all 4 days as well. Here is the 4 day cleanse plan I created... comment below if you want to hop on this cleanse with me (accountability people!).

Water- like crazy (fancy it up with some mint)
Daily probiotic
Dry Brushing
Coffee scrub (mix ground coffee in with coconut oil or shea butter and use as a scrub in the shower- this gets real messy, but its worth it).
Massage (if you can)
